Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I have made a covenant with myself, and with Allah more than once, not to engage in this act that is contrary to the Shari'ah, but I did not fulfill this covenant. So, is there an expiation (kaffarah) upon me, and I ask for your advice?
Answer:
Yes, if you swore an oath to leave something or to do something and then you violated your oath, then the expiation (kaffarah) becomes obligatory upon you. Yes.
